Abstract: | The Dar El Beida area, situated in the Mitidja basin, in the north central Tellian Atlas is characterized by its Plio-Quaternary sediments. The site effect analysis in this zone surrounding Algiers city is very important. The soil is constituted from recent soft sediments capable of amplifying seismic motion. Indeed, the analysis thanks to the ratio H/V ambient vibration method confirms these assumptions. An electric resistivity tomography strengthened the results obtained from ambient vibration for site characterization. This demonstrates once again the more or less homogeneous character of formations in this area. However, strongly amplifying its sediments largely explains the seismic acceleration of 0.52 g recorded following the 2003 Boumerdes earthquake. |
